Senate GOP leaders worry that some of their colleagues are misplaying their hand on health care reform by suggesting that they want to kill the plan in order to hurt the president. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said last week that, if Republicans are able to stop Barack Obama on health care, “it will be his Waterloo, it will break him.”

Attacking Bush seemed to work for the Democrats...of course Bush rarely fought back. Obama will scream about every attack.

Use of the word Waterloo only gets Obongo all revved up to prove Demint wrong. But who cares. It’s out there and let the Bamster charge full speed ahead into defeat

Oh, that’s right! Don’t you all remember, when lefties all over DC were excoriating W every day of his 2 terms, wishin’ and a-hopin’ for his failure, declaring it, while the MSM harrumphed dutifully and nodded knowingly — don’t you remember how it was Democrat Senate leaders who told them to cut it out? Remember? /sarc

The term Waterloo is great. We still have other battles to fight against this guy and a big victory on this may also impact the other battles.
Warn your local congresscritter that you not only vote against them,,but contribute against them.
Pelosi is offering them big bucks to sign on..your bucks.

We want to kill the plan because it’s a crap plan. Destroying the Obama presidency is merely happy collateral damage.

You know McLame and Miss Lindsey have got to be at the top of the list. I can just hear the whining of those two useless “leaders” now - “Don’t say ‘Waterloo’ - leave Barack alone, you meanies!!”
